* When purchasing for non-Hysun life jackets, check the Co2 bottle screw connection before using.

* Different brands of Gas cylinders can have different sized threads which are not compatible.

*There is a lot of confusion in the market regarding CO2 gas cylinders for life jackets,even among those policing them. The date printed on our CO2 gas cylinder is the date of manufacture. Providing the cylinder has no corrosion and weighs within +/- 2g of the printed weight, the cylinder is good for 5-10 years for recreational use.

♦ Hysun Inflatable PFD Self Inspection:

Step One- Visual Inspection

1. Open jacket inflator pocket and remove cylinder: Inspect for rust or corrosion, clean and put to one side if all is OK.

2. Visually check the outside cover to see there is no wear or damage.

3. Check all stitching, buckles and closures to see all are intact and working correctly.

4. Open jacket and check yellow inner fabric is not damaged.

5. Check all reflective tape is stuck down and not peeling away.

6. Check oral inflator tube is not damaged.

7. Check whistle.

Step two – Test Bladder

1. Inflate bladder by mouth through oral inflate tube, until bladder is fully inflated and firm

2. Leave bladder inflated overnight or for at least 12 hrs. This should be done in an area of stable temperature. Around 20 deg C is best. (If the temp drops over night it will affect pressure, so make sure the temp remains constant)

3. After at least 12 hrs, check that the bladder is still firm and there is no visible loss of pressure.

Step Three - Oral Inflator Check

1. Check inflator valve operating correctly by blowing a small amount of air into the bladder then by inverting the cap in to the oral tube to release the valve, and expel all air. Do not insert anything into the valve except the inverted cap.

2. Look for any damage or cracks around or on the Tube.

Step Four – Co2 Cylinder Inspection

1. Check cylinder is intact and not punctured.

2. Weigh cylinder to ensure that it is full. The cylinder must weight within 2 grams of the gross weight shown on the cylinder. This will need accurate scales that can measure down to 1 gram (supermarket scales are ideal). If it is not possible to weight cylinder this accurately then the cylinder must replaced with a new one. Record original gross weight and the actual weight on the self test form. If the cylinder is damaged or weight is lower than gross weight minus 2 grams then cylinder must be replaced.

Step Five – Manual Firing Mechanism Inspection (Manual / Auto Operated jackets)

1. Do not take the mechanism off the life jacket.

2. Check firing mechanism is working correctly, pull cord and see if cutter pin rises proud of the internal base of the mechanism.

3. Menence Marine Inflator – Green arming clip must be replaced with a new one as the old clip will have been damaged when removed from inflator.

Step Six - Auto Inflate Mechanism Inspection (Automatic Operated jackets only)

1. Unscrew anti clockwise the automatic activation cartridge from the bottom of the inflator.

2. Check the plunger moves freely upwards.

3. Check expiry date. If expiry date of cartridge is within the next 12 months replace with a new cartridge now.

4 Check the seal is in place

5. Once all steps above are completed, screw cartridge clockwise onto firing mechanism, making sure all threads are correct, and tighten by light hand force only.

Step Seven – Re-install Co2 Cartridge.

1. If jacket and inflator has passed all tests re-install cylinder.

2. When fitting cylinder hold mechanism firmly and screw cylinder into it clockwise direction, hand tighten only until firmly into position.

Step Eight– Record Inspection on your PFD

If your jacket has passed all the self inspection points required please record with an oil based permanent marker, the following on the inspection certificate locate near the inflator mechanism. Using the prefix ST (Self Test) record the date as follows ST-DD-MM-YY where DD-MM-YY is today’s date. If the date when you self test is 14-07-2010 record “ST 140710”on the service label.

Step Nine – Repack your PFD

Repack your PFD ensuring that all the air has been removed from the bladder. Ensure that the inflator pull cord is free and not tangled.
